I can seem to get going and be somewhat animated when I have something to do (am I faking it?) but when I don't have something to do, I just sit around or sleep. Sometimes I just sit in my chair in the living room, with my head hanging down, just wishing the day would end. Am I really depressed if I can muster up something for those occasions that I need to 'be there'? I don't know that I really have a sense of joy right now. I do smile and laugh once in a while, but it just doesn't seem to stick with me. I don't know what I'm talking about. Just needed to get these thoughts out of my head.
I do appreciate all of the suggestions and encouragement.

"What is Real? asked the Velveteen Rabbit one day.
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
